Celtics Stuff Live 11/8

Jughead — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 22:35:22 -0000

Celtics Stuff Live took to the airwaves Sunday night at its customary 9pm start time with Justin, Jon, Kevin Henkin, and without a stunning big name guest to draw in the masses. But, oh the people came Ray. A little bit of concern dotted the map as fans, callers, emailers, etc began to see areas of weakness in what was the Good Shop Lollypop just one week ago. Nevertheless, Justin compared Kevin's writing to the unmistakably bitter Maine beverage creation "Moxie" and Jon did a Scooby Doo impression. All in all, just another night in the neighborhood.

Celtics Stuff Live 11/1: Sean Grande

Jughead — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 12:28:53 -0000

The Celtics improve to 4-0 on the season tonight after defeating the New Orleans Hornets at home. Celtics Stuff Live was not short on topics considering how the game ended with Chris Paul and Rajon Rondo needing to be separated by Paul Pierce as they left the court. It has also been reported that Chris Paul attempted to enter the Celtics locker room after the game as well, which means that we have another budding rivalry on our hands folks.

Sean Grande joined us for the first 12 minutes of the show to kick things off before he and Max took their act to the CSN television studios following the game. Sean was an excellent guest as always and stated that he has no doubt who the best team in the NBA is right now. As we like to do here on CSL, Jon and Justin agreed. Sean made note of the KG's lateral movement being the deciding factor in these games as he is capable of defending at a high level even if only at 85-90% right now.

Callers, e-mails, and tweets made the show as we heard from Silverlock who was at the game, Greg from Cleveland (following up on the season opening loss to our beloved C's), the Scotsman (our one and only regular caller), and Michael from halfway around the world in Melbourne who had a Monday off from work and was able to catch the game on the internet. E-mails from fellow bloggers North Station Sports and Loscy echoed the themes from our callers about the improved inside game exhibited by Ray Allen, a quicker Paul Pierce with a first step that has changed his game, and Shelden Williams contributions in Glen's absence. There's more, so listen to the show!

CSLive Postgame Show 10/28: Celtics at Cavs

Jughead — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 03:45:36 -0000

The Celtics Are Coming, The Celtics Are Coming!

The Celtics season finally begins tonight against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Kevin Henkin will join Justin Poulin to break down the game and kick off the season in style. We did add a new chat room (click The Pit in the Nav Bar or below for the pop out chat) and it is slick. We'll take your calls after the game and any voicemails or e-mails ahead of time.

After a seemingly quiet offseason, things got interesting quickly with the injury sustained by Glen Davis on Sunday night. If you know Celtics Stuff Live, then you know we'll have plenty to say on the topic ;)

Also, in following up with one of our themes from Sunday night's show, Scott Souza had a nice interview with Marquis Daniels looking forward to defending Lebron James:

"Pretty much, for the most part, I got the LeBron assignment," he said of his time with the Pacers before joining the Celtics as a free agent this summer. "He’s a tough guard. You just have to make it difficult for him."

Not easy for any defender, especially when that defender is way out of James’ weight class.

"You’ve just got to try to make his shots tough," Daniels said. "Don’t give him too many easy looks, keep him off the line. I have plenty of guys around here who will help me out a lot. It’s going to be a tough guard, I just have to make it difficult for him."

Celtics Stuff Live 10/25: Steve Bulpett

Jughead — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 13:21:45 -0000

Steve Bulpett of the Boston Herald joined Jon and Justin to help the CSL listeners prepare for the regular season opener on Tuesday night in Cleveland. Of course the guys discussed the handful of articles that have hit the internets recently on Rajon Rondo and Steve broke down how he sees the season playing out for the C's and their chief rivals for the Eastern Conference crown.

Look for us for a pair of Postgame shows this week following the opener in Cleveland on Tuesday and the home opener on Wednesday night. See you then!

CSLive Postgame Show 10/21: Celtics at Cavs

Jughead — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 03:17:44 -0000

The Celtics beat the Cavs. Hooray!

Of course it was the exhibition season finale, so who the hell knows what that really means. But we do know that the Cavs threw quite a bit more of their starters at the Celtics reserve laden lineup, and despite this fact... the C's won going away. Jon, Justin, and Kevin Henkin wrapped up the exhibition season and tried to read the tea leaves into who will make this 15 man roster, and who might not if Mike Sweetney does if reports by Yahoo's Adrian Wojnarowski today on twitter. Justin leaned on Tony Allen as the weakest link, but Kevin and Jon were of the mind that Giddens is more vulnerable due to the trade value of TA's contract. Jon called Mo Williams, he of the ridiculous antics on the bench during last year's end of regular season Cavs rout, a "frontrunning turd." No response from Mo's camp, but he was last seen taking a sweet shot to his mug courtesy of @CSL_Duke's BFF, @SheldenWilliams.

Catch us Sunday at 9 PM when the Boston Herald's Steve Bulpett puts up with Jon and Justin.

Celtics Stuff Live 10/18: Jessica Camerato

Jughead — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 03:59:15 -0000

Following the Celtics victory over the Raptors in Toronto, Celtics Stuff Live rocked it out on a snowy October Sunday night as the piece begin to fall into place for the C's. Jessica Camerato of WEEI.com returned to the CSL airwaves to recount her interesting conversation with Ray Allen and his prospective jump into the world of politics. Jon and Justin talked with Jess about Scott Souza's column on Lester Hudson, Big Baby's maturity in the off season, and KG's leap to being a close facsimile of his old self from the near cripple he was described as being by some in the national media.

Feel free to hit up our guest, Jessica Camerato, or Jon and Justin on Twitter, and we'll see you Wednesday night for our live postgame show.

Celtics Stuff Live Postgame Tonight

Jughead — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 03:02:18 -0000

Justin, Jon, and Kevin Henkin hit the airwaves to take a look at the Celtics latest exhibition victory over the Toronto Raptors as the C's returned to the team's one time, part-time home in Hartford. The big story from this game was obvioulsy the early and often use of the patented Rondo to KG alley oop, but strong performances by Lester Hudson are also beginning to make the CSL guys wonder whether he is destined to become a Red Claw. After hitting the game, Paul Pierce's comments regarding potentially opting out of his contract to aid the team's ability to extend the team's window of championship contention, gave a bit of fuel to wrap up the show.

Celtics Stuff Live: Tonight With Marc Spears

Jughead — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 12:45:29 -0000

Celtics Stuff Live welcomed back Marc Spears, NBA writer for Yahoo Sports, who was out in Oakland and still remiss that Randy Moss is a New England Patriot. Marc continues to be a top notch guest, both entertaining and informative. He had the CSL guys laughing hysterically on the topic of a new Russian owner for the New Jersey Nets and discretely told an unreported story about KG that sums up Mr. Intensity's attitude towards the young players trying to make their way in the league. Marc has also been out and about covering training camps throughout the league including Golden State (see his article from today on Stephen Jackson) and Cleveland. You can follow Marc on twitter (@SpearsNBAYahoo) or at his new home on Yahoo.

Marc also brought listeners up to speed on an opportunity that presented itself after his last appearance on Celtics Stuff Live; an opportunity to be the producer of a movie script he wrote about his cousin he was a cop in the superdome during Hurricane Katrina. The movie is due out next summer and the CSL guys couldn't be happier to have played a small part in seeing this happen for Marc. Thanks to Josh (originally from Vermont) who is a loyal listener of the show and the person who contacted Marc about making the movie.

Justin and Jon wrapped the show answering e-mails, voicemails, and speaking with a regular caller who happens to have starred in the movie, Return to the Rafters (maybe you've heard of it even though imdb has not, LOL). Rajon Rondo's jumper, Glen Davis fitness and rotations, as well as the developing chemistry of the new additions to the bench were all topics covered in this show.

Join us Wednesday night after the game against the Raptors for our weekly Celtics Stuff Live Postgame Show! You can listen via the Blog Talk Radio plug-in to the right or by using the links below. Call 1-866-751-9649 to leave us a voicemail for the next show, send us an e-mail to csl@celticsstufflive.net, or catch the new twitter account @CSL_TweetLive (two of our followers won a set of tix to today's game over the weekend).

Celtics Stuff Live 10/4: Mike Gorman

Jughead — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 05:15:40 -0000

Training Camp has begun and the first preseason game is only three days away, so like a couple kids waiting for Christmas morning, Jon and Justin were joined by Kevin Henkin to set the stage for the 2009-2010 Celtics season. Celtics Stuff Live was pleased to welcome back the television voice of the Boston Celtics, Mike Gorman, for the first time since the end of last season. Mike noted that this might be the most he has looked forward to getting a season started in his nearly 30 years of covering the Green. After prompting from an email, Mike told us that while the result may not be great, the replacement officials may end up with getting sympathy from Tommy Heinsohn. Who'd a thunk it?

Check back to CelticsStuffLive.com beginning Tuesday, October 6th to get your first look at CSL's new internet home. You'll love it!
